As iconic as the view of El Cap from the Valley floor, the time-honored Synchilla Vest can be worn over a shirt in cool weather or under a jacket for additional insulation when you’re out in the cold. Made of a soft midweight recycled polyester fleece with two zippered handwarmer pockets, the Synchilla holds body heat close to your core and offers full freedom of movement when you're setting up camp, sorting gear or stepping out on the slackline. With full front zip, stand-up collar and elasticized bindings on armholes and hem. Hip length.

Oh boy! I have the most pickiest daughter. She writes her Xmas list in great detail and in it was aPatagonia vest. Yes, in a men's size, they fit her better. She has a Patagonia sweater and wears it for work a lot. It is comfortable to drive in while she is on the road quit a bit. I would think the vest should be even more comfortable. I actually had much difficulty finding exactly what she wanted until I visited your site. I was able to get the color, size and style she wants and I was so excited you had it. Also, she wanted Smartwool socks. She sent me a pic of those and I was even able to find the socks too. As for the vest, I know she will love it. She used to ask for North Face but has changed her label to Patagonia. I can see why, as for when I received the vest and checked it out, I couldn't believe how soft it was (like a Chinchilla). I also can't wait till my daughter updates her wardrobe, she gives the used to me. If she is happy, Mom is happy too.

My old synchilla vest from 8 years ago was still in good shape until it dissapeared on a trip- this updated one seems to have the same qualities I loved about the old one. Extremely durable, great fit (I am 5'10 and a medium is a perfect snug fit over a button down or a base layer- I would recommend sizing up to wear over a sweater or more layers) and moderate warmth is great around town or as a layering piece while on the hill. You really can't go wrong unless you are looking for a technical vest with more bells and whistles.

This vest is great to wear to work or under a winter coat. Its simple enough you can pull it off with a dress shirt, and it provides a ton of extra warmth in the winter months. looking forward to it in the summer as well for nights on the beach, and in the boat.

I use the product mostly for stylish purposes...its great for mid 50's-60's weather, not bulky and easy to wear around, warm, durable, and well-fitting. I got a medium and it fits pretty tight, but just right.

My boyfriend is 5'11 and a golfer. Should I get him a medium or a large? I typically get him mediums but this is my first time getting a vest and I'm not sure which guys would prefer having it snug or a little larger. Thanks!
